Comments (0) BEST TRADE (SPORTS TEAM) - 2002

Florida Marlins owner John Henry to the Boston Red Sox

Major League Baseball engineered this deal, allowing Henry to sell the Marlins, then turn around and buy the Red Sox.

And we offer one last bit of baseball trivia: Since 1919 the team you sold has one more world championship than the team you bought, chump.
